 Why does it bother you?
All those have been added one-by-one on requests from various users.
I don't understand what do you actually want? You want mplayer-minimal,
mplayer-minimal-with-gui, mplayer-minimal-with-gui-and-opengl,
mplayer-minimal-with-gui-opengl-and-aa-and-mga-and-sdl, and so on, and
so on?

 Because 'default' is non-redistributable. I asked for this at least
twice, but author(s)(?) seem not like idea of people using his work, so
I went with Skin that author wants people to use.

mencoder is mpeg encoder, and debian does not distribute those for some
weird patent or something reasons. I guess it would be possible to
package ogg-only mencoder or something.
